Good looks has a notoriously limited shelf life, and once a fad is over then the star will fade - like how GM was destroyed as the demand of gas guzzling SUVs dropped off a cliff.
Letting the music promotion industry die will probably mean the death of mass produced garbage with stars that are more known for their looks than their talent. Good riddance.
You also have to consider regions that do not need to commute 100miles a day. In Hong Kong, I can get to most places by driving less than 20miles. Such a car will be more than welcome here, if it means that we get to save on the outrageous new vehicle tax that slapped on every new car we buy here.
Given that, I think a backup battery in pure electric vehicles are a necessity. Make it so that batteries can be swapped in and out easily, then it will be perfect.
When therapists have to go into the game to solicit customers. Smart move, but I have a feeling that they will be paid in WOW Gold and/or soulbound loot...
The RIAA et al. is screaming about piracy not because money is not lining into pockets. The money is only being lined into the wrong pockets, and they don't like it.
Executives only exists to protect themselves. The facts don't lie.
So, the solution to the current US economic troubles is for them the run up the credit cards until the sign bit on the bills flip over? Suddenly China will owe the US to the tune of $999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999...
Of course, that might be why Obama/The governator are spending so much money that they don't have.
If experience on Slashdot has taught me anything, having the Internet on ISS is a bad idea. The astronauts will spend half the time surfing the Internet instead of running 'scientific experiments'.

It is worth noting that researchers could generate IVD sperm only from male embryos; when they tried using stem cells from a female embryo, they were unable to get sperm to mature past the spermatogonial stage. That suggests that genes located on the Y chromosome, which female cells do not contain, may be essential for triggering the maturation of the primitive sperm cell.
I think we will need a way to make egg cells from stem cells, not sperm.
Which we have the material for - get two male stem cells, splice the X chromosome out and put in the other, and volia! An XX stem cell ready to mature into an egg. Seems that women cannot reproduce without men, but men can (eventually) reproduce without women!

That's not surprising, seeing that a female never produces sperm in the first place.
I can't see why would anyone wants to download an applet just to run a VM on his own machine. Now, if the VM runs on the server, that will be another story.
Problem is Linux is too much of a paradigm shift for most people. Good luck getting people to use an OS where the terminal is still required to perform what we can do in one or two clicks in Windows. Not to mention how many programs written for Windows that just will not run under Linux. People want familiarity, not some ivory tower concept of "Freedom" that cause so many free software advocate that froth at the mouth at the mention of the word Microsoft.
Perhaps this will all change with the arrival of a Windows compatible FOSS OS, like ReactOS. People don't need Windows. They just need something that looks like windows, and will run all the programs that windows can run.
So, your argument is that the worse-off side should just lie down and take whatever crap their aggressors dictate?
That is one of the most stupid statements I've seen posted. I am sure that many people in Iraq disagrees with you right now. They are simply going to continue to think of new methods to destroy the oh-so-expensive toys that the aggressors are fielding. The surest way to not have casualties is not start a war in the first place.
The people will be so tired from jerking themselves off that they will be too drained to do any real raping.
Two advantages:
1) They will not be contributing to the gene pool.
2) And they won't be raping any actual women.
I call win-win.
Will this be the net-appliance thing all over again? Just this time it is a net-appliance with a touchscreen.
The problem with designing these 'net-appliances' is that in a year or so the cost of a full-featured computer with the same desirable feature the producer is promoting will come out, giving no reason for people to actually buy one of these devices.
If he can keep his original price point of $200, it might have worked out pretty well, but at $300 he is crossing into netbook territory. Touchscreens will soon become a standard anyway. Why buy one from him now?

Yes, and what is GM now? Bankrupt.

The Pirate Bay is the best marketing. That, and a little digg and ./ would go a really long way.

So we can be ruled over by corporations instead of the Party. Do you honestly believe that a Democracy is a miracle cure or something?

The robot has a chainsaw for exactly that purpose. It's right in the diagram.

Never reinstall an OS upside down.. the blood rushing to your head is rumored to do strange things to your reasoning.

Right... instead of big muscular men passing their genes on, we'll have computer cybernerds passing their genes on.
In 5 - 10 generations we will have people with huge brains and arms like twigs.

If no, and killing "it" is allowed, then we've just legalized killing human beings because someone else deemed them not worth keeping around.
Killing human beings has already been legalized. It is called war.
The resultant offspring will be a clone of herself then? Legalized human cloning... mmm.
I'll rejoice when those guys that made 2 girls one cup go to prison. When will this happen?

Depends. But lacking an ocean will not preclude a planet from getting an magnetic field - there could be other factors at work here.
Isn't this already done in South Korea, where Terrans, Zerg and Protoss fight online on a daily basis?
